tzar: As players get older, the main problem for them is to maintain concentration, motivation and spending more time choosing a move. Vishy has been always very fast, being very strong in all chess formats. Therefore, I dont think this problem is going to affect him too much. If he comes ...

tzar: <Caissanist> The chess Olympiad is held every two years. From 1952 to 2002, the Soviet Union or later Russia won all chess Olympiads but two, 1976 in which they did not compete and 1978, won by Hungary by 1 point but in which Karpov {World n.1) did not play. I don't know of any ...

| |
|
tzar: What must Garry be doing now without his chess???...If only he were not losing his time in politics for which he has no special talent!!!... I don't know but I have the feeling that if he trained for some months he would still be able to give Carlsen or Anand a run for their money.

| | Jun-09-13 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984
| |
|
tzar: This endgame is outstanding...maybe it was an adjournment or Karpov remembered a similar one of the past. Otherwise it is not humanly possible to do so many accurate moves in a row and give this wonderful chess lesson to no other than Kasparov.

|
tzar: <harrylime: Karpov was ok for his time .. Bit of a chess vacum really....
But he was fortunate that 'his' time ran in between two massive giants ..> I am not sure about that. I see them more as 3 giants of the game in a row.

tzar: For the first time I start to think that Anand has a real chance of winning the match considering that he is a genius now in bad shape: His main problem is finding the right motivation to do a huge effort to prepare the match...so: If the match is held in India the prospect of being ...

tzar: Mr. Short, extraordinary comments, specially today you saw everything...not sure if Kramnik, Carlsen or yourself should be the next opponent for Anand.

| | Mar-13-13 Capablanca-Alekhine World Championship Match (1927)
| |
|
tzar: Nice photo on this page which reflects the begining of the match, although the room in which they play look very modest and discreet. On the bottom, in Spanish, it can be read "at that time a certain rivalry separated the two men, which later became bitterness"

| | Mar-06-13 Karpov-Korchnoi World Championship Match (1978)
| |
|
tzar: Not to shake hands was an order of Soviet authorities, not a Karpov's decision, on the contrary he has a reputation of being a quite correct sportsman.
